Move your dhcp to your Linux machine, and hand out IP by mac address. Turn off dhcp on the Linksys. The DHCP how to and sample conf file get you 90% of the way there. -----Original Message----- From: Philip B Cook [mailto:philipbcook@ntlworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 12:27 AM To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: [suse-security] Update BIND9 with new clients How do I configure BIND9 to update its zone files based upon new clients assigned an IP address by my Linksys Router. My router has IP 192.168.1.1 My LINUX machine (fileserver & proxy) is runniing BIND9 is on a fixed address 192.168.0.101 I want BIND9 to act as caching DNS for internet addresses (already done) AND to provide local (ie 192.168.0.xxx) DNS lookup for my machines. The LINUX machine also runs SQUID and SAMBA to provide services to the rest of my Windows network of machines. Many thanks in advance. Philip
